It is a glorious day on the Promenade
We did see some rain last night, but not too bad. When I was out of bed this morning the guests had already ate and were onto the Bloody Marys.
Then we had a wonderful sail up to the Baths, it was perfect wind. Unfortunately we needed some halyard repairs, so the cockpit soon looked like a rigging shop with the boys going up and down the mast and all sorts! Bazza said it was frayed and great that we got it before it snapped otherwise we would have probably lost the sail!
Our guests gave with one hand and took with the other! The left over waffles came out for the birds and fish, and with the other hand we had meanie guests in the water with a super shooter firing water at the birds AND the women on the back deck who were not impressed!
Everybody had an afternoon dip and then it was off for another sail.
This time we played our keel hauling game where we jump off the front of the boat under sail and come up underneath the boat on the aft. Richard took the victims, er guests, up front and confused them about jumping off!
Unfortunately, the directions were not very clear as this is what jumping in looked like!!
This is always a lot of fun, and of course, we took some underneath pictures.
The boys all managed to catch the "Bitter End" of the lines and we did not lose a one!!! Quite unusual. Everyone is always surprised how quick you go!
We even managed to get SOME of the women in the water.
We carried on afterwards sailing and it was a wonderful sail, just about right. Lou Lou and I had to help with sail duty and once more, Lisa was looking around for B, saying "this is his job!"
We ended up anchored behind Eustatia Island this evening, and we all had some great ribs for dinner. We avoided any and all thunderstorms and squalls today! Yeah us!!
My parents sent me this picture, does not matter where my family is, we are always all on our laptops it seems. My dad says that he felt left out without a laptop of his own!
My parents had a good time seeing Willy Nelson in Redmond, and said for the bit he was losing it with age he made up for with time, playing a good long show. They are back in victoria now and my brother is visiting so no rest for them either.
And finally this evening, a few Richie pictures. A Rock Hind
A Sand Diver, which always sit so nice and still for pictures
And, the "glob"!
The Atlantic is sure looking super active with storms! We will just keep an eye on them and dodge them. All 4 of us are on our laptops at different times watching the scenarios and the radar.
